View Complimentary Travel Planning Guide YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Grand Baltic Sea Voyage 2021 Small Groups: 20-25 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 22) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Grand Baltic Sea Voyage itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: As I explored Gdansk’s Stare Miasto (Old Town), I could feel the traces of its maritime origins ebb and flow with each step I took. I couldn’t help but marvel at the bright medieval architecture as well as the city’s resilience following the destruction wrought by World War II. While the war time scars can be seen throughout the Old Town, the determination of the Polish people resonates far louder than their turbulent past. I was so moved by the stories of the local people who live here now. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences when you visit the European Solidarity Center. Here, you’ll delve into Poland’s tumultuous history and their dismantling of a communist regime alongside a local guide. Along the way, you’ll discover how Lech Walesa headed the movement as a labor activist and how he is viewed by the Polish population today. You can take this opportunity to truly hear firsthand the effects of this time period from a local, and how Solidarity became the largest independent trade union in Poland. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. So we keep our groups small, with only 20-25 travelers (average 22) to ensure that your encounters with local people are as intimate and authentic as possible. It’s also why your O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader will be a resident “insider” who can show you the culture as only a local can. To ensure that your adventure is truly unique, put your own personal stamp on it. You can arrive early and stay later, add a pre- or post-trip extension, spend time in a Stopover city, or combine two or more trips. Plus, your itinerary offers ample free time so you can pursue your own interests. So until the day comes when you are off to enjoy your Grand Baltic Sea Voyage adventure, I hope you will relish the fun and anticipation that this O.A.T. Adventure Travel Planning Guide® will inspire. Should you have further questions, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Love and peace, Harriet R. Lewis Vice Chairman, Overseas Adventure Travel P.S. For more inspiration, you can watch videos and slideshows from travelers like you at www.oattravel. com/traveler-moments.

You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love about the little town of Harmi, Estonia, is that it has a lot of heart. Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts. I love the outdoors and I love art, so my walk in the woods with O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

  • The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication
    The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication Finn Hauberg Mortensen University of Copenhagen s AN ICON IN MASS cui.TURE, thc Little Meniiaid has become the official image of Denmark in general., and of its capital, At Copenhagen, in particular. Its icoiiicity is intimately tied to two sources: Edvard Eriksen's famous bronze statue erected on the Copen- hagen waterfront in 191? and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale from i8í7. The complexity of Andersen's fairytale, however, which lends the symbolic value to Eriksen's statue, has been largely ignored because the statue has taken on a lite of its own. Historically, it belongs to the final phase of Danish classical sculpture., but it has also become the raw material of modernistic artistic expressions. In fact over the last fort^' years, the statue has moved toward two distinct representations: the completed statue by Eriksen viewed and re\ered by die millions of tourists who visit and photograph it and the ongoing fragmented and unfinished work, which has derived from the destruction of the former. This latter ''work of art" in turn points to the modernit)' of which it and Denmark has become part. The fragmentation started in içfti, when the statue had its hair painted red and was dressed up in a bra and panties. Two years later she was painted red again. In 1964, these prankish attacks were followed by an act of willful artistic vandalism when an unknown assailant sawed the head off the body. Later, Jörgen Nash, a situationist visual artist and author, claimed responsibility for removing the head and for making a deliberate assault on die Danish national symbol.

    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.
